A SIGSEGV means that this is a bug inside SIMH. The next step would be
to recompile the SIMH VAX binary (and all needed object files) without
any -O flag (switch off optimizations) and with the -g flag (to
include debug information into the resulting files).
Done with that, start SIMH again and attach gdb to it
(gdb <pid-of-simh>). You'll be given a prompt, just "cont"inue.
Then start your FTP/wget/whatever session and wait until it crashes.
Once that happened, you'll be back on the gdb prompt, where you'd
issue the `bt' command (and copy all of its output as well as the few
lines that came after you "cont"inued.) Then close gdb, letting the
attached SIMH process die.
The crash info (along with the `bt' output) will probably give us an
idea where that bug is hidden.
